CARBURETOR REMOVAL
1.
Prior to removal, make sure that the engine is cool.
2.
Disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery.
3.
Remove air cleaner. Be sure to carefully disconnect any hoses from
the air cleaner and note their location for reinstallation. You may want to
mark them with masking tape for easy reference.
4.
Disconnect throttle linkage, kickdown linkage (certain automatic
transmission applications only), cruise control (if equipped) and any
return springs if present.
NOTE: Check carefully for the precise location of all these linkages
and return springs. You may want to mark them with masking tape
for easy reference.
5.
Disconnect all wires, tubes, and hoses from carburetor and note
their locations.
NOTE: There should be a maximum of one wire to the electric choke
and one to the idle compensator solenoid (if equipped with A/C).
Any other electrical wiring attached to your carburetor indicates a
computer controlled engine. Edelbrock carburetors will not function
correctly on computer controlled applications.
6.
Disconnect the heater tube from the choke housing (if so equipped).
Edelbrock carburetors do not use the hot-air-style choke, so this tube
may be left disconnected with no problems. If you would like to cover
this opening on a stock manifold, you may be able to use the appropriate
Edelbrock Choke Adapter Plate: #8901 for small-block Chevrolets;
#8961 for big-block Chevrolets; #8951 for Oldsmobile V8s; #8971 for
351-M/400 Fords; #8981 for 351-W Fords.
7.
Carefully remove the fuel line from the carburetor. TAKE EXTREME
CARE NOT TO SPILL ANY EXCESS FUEL. Place a rag underneath the
fuel line to absorb any spillage that may occur. Certain models require
two wrenches to remove the fuel line; one to hold the fitting on the
carburetor and the second to turn the fitting on the fuel line. Use a tubing
wrench to avoid rounding the tube fitting nut.
8.
Remove mounting nuts or bolts and washers. Be sure to put them
where they won't fall into the intake manifold upon carburetor removal.
9.
Remove carburetor, being careful not to spill any dirt into the intake
manifold. Immediately place a clean rag into the intake manifold to keep
foreign objects out.
10.
Remove old mounting gasket and thoroughly clean mounting
surface. Compare old carb gasket to the gasket included with your
Edelbrock carburetor. If there is a difference in bolt pattern or bore
spacing, an adapter will be required (see "Before Removing Old
Carburetor" on Page 4, Steps #3 & #4).

CARBURETOR PREPARATION
1.
Compare the throttle arm of your new carburetor with the old one to
be sure that all required linkages will hook up. Install the proper throttle
and transmission linkage for your particular application. Throttle stud is
removable and must be installed in the proper location. Chrysler vehicles
with automatic transmission will require Throttle Lever Kit #1481. Ford
vehicles with automatic transmission (except AOD) and cable linkage
will require Throttle Lever Kit #1483 (See Fig. 6) and Throttle Cable Plate
Kit #1490 (for 289-302), #1491 (for 351-W), #1493 (for 351-C & 351-
M/400), or #1495 (for 429/460).

2.
Check and prepare carburetor for proper vacuum fitting installation
(EGR, power brakes, PCV, distributor, transmission, etc.), using the
supplied vacuum caps, "T" and hose when applicable. If vacuum port
at rear of carb is not used, plug with the 1/4 NPT pipe plug supplied
(Except marine models, port is not drilled).
3.
On electric choke models (See Fig. 7), remove one choke housing
retaining screw and install eyelet end of choke ground wire (black) to the
choke housing, and reinstall the screw. Connect clip end of choke
ground wire to negative (–) spade terminal on choke housing.
Black wire (–): To
Ground (Carb Body)
Red Wire (+): To Ignition Key Activated
12V Source (NOT coil or alternator!)
CARBURETOR INSTALLATION
1.
Remove rag from intake manifold and install new studs, manifold
gasket and adapters (where applicable).
NOTE: For emission purposes, the Performer 1400 Carburetor uses a
heat Insulator Gasket (supplied) instead of a paper gasket.
Do not use any cement, glue, or RTV sealant on gasket.
2.
Carefully place new carburetor on the manifold gasket.
3.
Replace all mounting nuts and washers. EnduraShine™ finish
carburetors should use the supplied 5/16" flat washers under any other
washers used. Hand tighten with a short box-end wrench, alternating
between diagonally opposed nuts.
